A whole server license for DHCP? I assume you have MSDN etc?
Usual practice would be to have a Windows box as a domain controller, DNS server, and DHCP server, if you are running a domain.
If your network is just a couple of PCs that need internet access, and run peer-peer, then it is probably better to use the router as a DHCP and DNS relay.
